Original Original, by definition, means pertaining to the Source, Well when you speak of the Original Woman, you are speaking of me, of course. See - I am the AKA, the First and Finest for All to Behold. I change Black Women to Black Pearls, I am 90 years old. By merit and by culture is the motivation behind my strides, An Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman will always Walk with Pride. You see, being the Original Woman is not my only claim to fame, Service to all Mankind is my most esteemed aim. I am the Original, giving consistently of myself, Addressing pertinent issues, from AKAdemics to good health. Who made a commitment to do good, A commitment to my people and to my Sisterhood. I am the hope and the dream of the impoverished and unclean, When I grace the room you know the Pink and Green is on the scene. I am intelligent, beautiful, finest yet and sophisticated, A strong black woman, college trained and widely educated. One time originated, three times imitated, but never, ever duplicated I represent Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated! |
Akatude Conceited we're called Because we stand tall, Uppity we're deemed Due to our self-esteem "Our noses are always in the air" For looking downward we don't dare And continue with pride Realizing that if you're a lady You're automatically downgraded Sophistication and class is a plus Although others don't view it as much Their thoughts are so remote But when we were founded, Women couldn't vote Civil rights were a luxury In the early 20th century AKA was very political Although they laugh and act very cynical So remember the next time they jeer, You were the FIRST to be here Deleting all that was not good And replacing it with SISTERHOOD Setting a trend for all the rest Proving that they could be the very best. As ladies we must learn Nothing is given, all is earned With this in mind You'll ultimately find That it's a flair It's a mood, We Call it AKATUDE by Soror Michelle Robinson |

Forever Like A Rose Alpha Kappa Alpha forever like a rose, Plant a seed of sisterhood, and patiently watch it grow It is rooted in friendship, trust, and honesty It's nurtured by love, respect, and loyalty A symbol of emotion, the endurance and beauty fair Like this passionate and lovely flower AKA is a treasure rare... |
And Then There Was "AND GOD SAID . . . I'll make a woman. A woman of substance. A woman of pride. A woman who is able to put petty things aside. A woman of integrity . A woman of love. A woman who is worthy of the treasures from above. A woman who is genuine, a leader in every way. GOD SAID . . . I 'll make a woman and call her . . . AKA" |
